Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Where in the world is [GeoGuessr]?
Posts
Probably Australia.
This is good to know.
I got lucky on the China/Taiwan being relatively close, I I knew I was at the coast of somewhere relatively warm where they spoke Chinese. And I got a city in the Netherlands, a photo of that said 'bayou fishing', a photo that said 'key largo fishing' and one that said 'hong kong'
I'm pretty bad at this it seems.
On the plus side it was much faster. On the downside. I only go one even close to right.
I just did one of those and got 12k. Only country I missed was a NZ <-> Aus thing. Got lucky with 3 in the US, though...

i guessed canada
turns out it was the ukraine
that's not playing fair, geoguessr
And this one time, the inside of a Japanese hair salon.
I didn't know Google Earth did that.
I had a similar thing happen, but it was in a city.
The only clue I had was a lot of Chinese lanterns.
I guessed somewhere around Beijing, turns out it was Guangdong.
It is all run-down and foggy and low resolution.
Record is 5 meters off without googling, next to a bus stop in Florida
first time using it, first thing I see. i guess i win?
and then i got nothing but snow and failed to guess it was in the middle of northern canada
because you probably failed a few geography classes
I'd still have trouble with that one, I have no clue where that is on the map
edit: oh wait, I've actually been there
well that's embarrassing
e: hmm yes, it put me right on the intersection with one sign saying "alberta saskatchewan borner" and the other with the cross street. 0.009km within the target for 6478 points
A three hour drive by car owing to a moderate mountain range in the way, but still. I had all the information I needed and still kept going 'What? Where is that? That configuration of NZ coastline doesn't make sense". Completely forgetting that it makes sense if it's right where I live.
A bank in Maun.
A bank in Maun, Botswana.
A bank in Maun, Botswana, that I just happen to know is the only bank in the city that takes MasterCard.
A bank in Maun, botswana that i just happen to know is the only bank in the city that takes MasterCard because three years ago I happened to visit Maun, Botswana and had to make a special trip out that bank so I could withdraw Botswanan currency.
Did you know that the Botswanan word for their currency 'Pula', also means 'Rain' and 'Blessings'?
Fuck yeah, 25946 point round. Thank you, Maun Stanic Bank.
This could actually be a fun variant on the game -- try to guess as far away as possible from the locations given.
Especially happy with it since one of them was the forest in the middle of nowhere and I at least got the right continent
This game is the best. I get so mad when it puts me somewhere with low res maps
I'm in. Lowest score wins. Geogolfsser
Edit: first try. Gotta factor in that it knows the world is round. I will get better. Er...worse.
My wife's cat is named Pula, I guess she considered him a blessing.
I consider him a fat bastard who won't stop attacking my feet.
and of course this would be the game that dropped me at one of the most famous landmarks of my province
which made it really easy to guess "the middle of the south pacific"
